Abstract
The first part of this research, published earlier, raised the historical
tension of the evolution of public policy regarding education in Colombia. The second part, now in the reader's hands, contextualizes the crisis faced by education models, as a result of the contradiction that emerges when we talk about development models and models of economic growth, as a result of this historical tension. To develop this idea, the first point of the article is based on the theory of semi-public goods, explained by Amartya Sen, in response to the economic crisis in education policy, materialized through the response of affirmative actions in education for women and children. The second point analyzes the outcomes from the investments in education policy in the world, to promote the breakdown of the existing gaps of segregation and mortality rates. The third part of the paper describes the main challenges faced by the educational project due to the prevalence of the growth model, strengthened by reforms of the XXIst century. Finally, some general conclusions are presented.
